Chapter 501: Doing Favors

In Ronghui Hall, Xu Wanzhen spoke to Mrs. Xu, "Grandmother, is it appropriate for you to see me give gifts like this?"

After coming to Beijing, she was in charge of the family, and she handled the daily contacts of the Xu family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's just that the nature of this time is different from the past, so it's safer to ask Mrs. Xu.

Old Madam Xu smiled: "The young man is a little sharp, there is nothing bad." ā€

The He family and the Xu family are the friendships left by the old lady Xu when he was alive, and they mainly cooperate more in the silk business.

This acquisition of the Xu family's property in Jiangnan Province, don't look at the He family's initiative to make profits, in fact, it is a big bargain, and no one owes anyone in this business. To be honest, the He family only made up for Mrs. Xu's kindness a little.

She and Mrs. He have never met before, so they can't be considered a deep friendship.

Tu Fangyan married in the name of the Tu family, if she was bullied in the He family, the Xu family would be disgraced. Of course, there is a better way to deal with this matter, but since his granddaughter wants to support Tu Fangyan, then support it, there is nothing to worry about.

With the affirmation of Mrs. Xu, Xu Wanzhen smiled.

Yulu opened the curtain and came in: "Su Sanye is here with a letter." ā€

Su Liangzhi has been very busy these days, and the epidemic prevention strategy was proposed by him, after the outbreak of the epidemic, the emperor ordered the envoy of Zhao Yuan to preside over the fight against the epidemic, and he was his deputy.

The prevention and control work of the whole city, the relocation of the patients in the sick workshop, and the search for the source of the infection all require his own efforts.

Every day when he was home, it was the middle of the night, and Xu Wanzhen hadn't looked at him for several days, so she had to tell the little servant to be more diligent. Wash all the clothes he changed to ensure that Su Liangzhi can go out refreshingly every day.

At this time, he had a letter, and it was estimated that something had progressed.

Old Madam Xu opened the letter, laughed after reading it, handed it to Xu Wanzhen and said, "Your little uncle really deserves to be Su Xiao's divine doctor, and he found a cure so quickly." ā€

Xu Wanzhen took it and took a closer look, and the letter was very clear, Su Liangzhi and the envoy of Zhao, as well as the doctors in the city, were treating the patients in the relocation workshop together. The prescription was discussed, and after two days of use, the symptoms of some patients began to reduce.

I wrote this letter back, just because there was a key medicine in it-Qingneyin Chen Artemisia grass, and the reserves in Beijing were running out. And the origin of this herb is in Lingnan Road, and the emperor has asked Lingnan Road to quickly adjust the medicine.

The He family had already brought several truckloads of medicinal herbs for epidemic prevention and sold them to Jingzhao Mansion. Therefore, he wrote back to ask, and asked the Xu family to ask the He family if there was such a herb.

The He family runs a goods store in the north and south, and the caravans are all over Gaomang, and selling medicinal materials is also a big business for the He family.

Old Madam Xu thought for a while and said, "This favor is done." I wrote a letter to the treasurer and asked them to collect the herbs themselves. ā€

Xu Wanzhen continued to read the letter, and wrote on the last page that they already had preliminary suspicions about the source of the outbreak. In two days, we'll find out if it's right.

……

Two days later, Yin Tang Baicai of Jingzhao Mansion personally led a team of officials, followed by Zhao Yuan's envoy, Su Liangzhi and others, all wearing double-layer scarves soaked in medicinal juice, and came to Luoshui River Bay.

The water flowed slowly, and the rushing river bent here before continuing to flow forward.

The floating debris washed down from the upstream is all floating on the water.

As I got closer, I smelled a putrid stench coming from the river breeze. If you look closely, there are not only dead branches and rotten leaves floating on the bay, but also poultry and dead fish. These days, no one fishes, and after several days of exposure, it is soaked on the surface of the water, there are green-headed flies biting on it, and there are some thin and black eggs on the water surface.

A servant stood guard here, not letting the idlers and others approach.

Seeing that Tang Bai had just arrived, he replied: "Lord Tang, this is it." We asked the residents around the area, and they said that a few days ago, we often saw beggars and idlers fishing here, and they caught all the dead fish and shrimp back to eat. ā€

"Have you found those people?" asked Envoy Zhao.

"The subordinates found the shack of a few beggars, and as Lord Zhao expected, several people had died inside. The rest can't be saved. ā€

Tang Baicai remembered one of the epidemic prevention strategies, that is, not to eat rotten, spoiled, and expired food. The animal, which had drowned in the torrential rain upstream, had been floating here for at least two days, and they had scooped it up and cooked it, and sure enough, something went wrong.

It seems that the source of the outbreak has been identified.

Thinking of this, Tang Bai turned around and asked, "Doctor Su, what should be done here?"

Su Liangzhi has no official position, but the epidemic prevention strategy was proposed by him, and the spread of the epidemic has been strictly controlled these days. Except for those who first fell ill, and those who came into contact with them to cause the disease, there was not a single new case of illness in the city.

This made Tang Baicai deeply grateful. This time the epidemic was effectively controlled, and he not only had no faults, but he had merit. He is also more and more convinced of this young Dr. Su.

"Collect all these dead animals and bury them on the spot three feet from the riverbank. The burial pit is three zhang deep and five zhang wide. The bottom of the pit is sprinkled with sulfur first, one layer is filled, and one layer is sprinkled. Su Liangzhi estimated the amount of landfills.

Tang Baicai ordered to go down and let the accompanying officials start digging the pit according to what Su Liangzhi said.

He led the people to the next location.

Filling all these rotting animals is equivalent to eliminating the source, so that the epidemic can be reassured.

After a busy day, Tang Bai returned to the mansion, only to feel that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he couldn't lift up half of his strength.

It's just that I can't rest at the moment, so I called Master Shuqi over and instructed: "You know the source of the epidemic, right? ā€

Master Shuqi should go down and draw up a notice for the people. Tang Bai just passed his eyes, stamped the official seal, and sent it to the hands of each fang tomorrow, and the fang was pasting the notice on the streets and alleys.

……

The next day, the palace of the king of Qi.

Shu Changshi was so excited that he danced with his hands, rushed into King Qi's study, and said, "Lord! ā€

King Qi took the post and asked in surprise, "Fang Yu?"

Shu Changshi nodded affirmatively and said, "It's Fang Xiaoyu." He has resigned from Hanlin and submitted a letter to the Zhan Mansion, willing to serve the King of Qi. ā€

"Really?" King Qi was full of joy, this was really good news that fell from the sky. "Where is he?"

"In the Zhan Mansion under construction. ā€

"Quick, quick, take me to him. So saying, he walked out the door.

Shu Changshi hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, you haven't changed your clothes yet!"

King Qi has always dressed simply in his own mansion, wearing only a green sermon robe and a bamboo wooden hairpin to tie his hair. If you go out like this, it will inevitably damage the prestige of the prince.
